Ukraine lacks might to retake occupied territories, Zelenskyy concedes
But that doesn’t mean Kyiv is ready to cede land to Russia, defiant Ukrainian president warns.
KYIV — Ukraine currently doesn’t have the military strength to retake all the territory Russia has occupied since 2014, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told French daily Le Parisien on Wednesday.
But that doesn’t mean Kyiv is about to recognize its Moscow-controlled lands as belonging to Russia, he added.
“Legally, we cannot give up our territories. This is prohibited by the constitution. But let’s not use such big words. Russia actually controls part of our territory today,” Zelenskyy said in response to a question as to how far Kyiv is prepared to compromise to end the war following Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion.

Time for Trump to negotiate an end to this pointless conflict. The Ukrainians are admitting that they cannot win their land back.
